May and Corbyn Battle With Parties on New Brexit ReferendumWhile the prime minister’s own cabinet is split over whether she should remain open to the possibility of a public vote on a deal, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is facing pressure from within his parliamentary party to backtrack on his promise of another vote. Unable to convince her allies to back her own deal — Parliament has rejected it on three separate occasions — she’s turned to Corbyn for help. May will write to European Council President Donald Tusk on Friday seeking a further delay to Brexit, a U.K. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
